To be viewed on Monday, Dec.. 4, and Catalogues (price 25.) to be had at the place of Sale. him, placed it the hands of his solicitor, Mr. John Roberts, of street, Soho-square, the person against whom this applies, tion was made, to enforce thepayment of it from the acceptor Good, Mr. G., on receiving an intimation that the bill was in the hands of Roberts, waited upon th a t person b e t wee n nine and ten o'clock on the 28th of Oct, last, and tendered hint the amount of the bill ; but Roberts demanded two guineas] over and above that sum.— Mr. Good, with some surprise, asked what in the name of won der these two guineas could be for ? " Oh," replied Mr. Ito harts, " for a writ I have issued against you on the bill."—" A writ issued already against me!" said Mr. Good; let sue see it."—" No," said Mr. Roberts, "there is no necessity for that; it is enough to tell yeu that I have issued the writ, and there is the affidavit of debt upon which it was issued," (pointing to a paper that lay on his desk.) Mr. Good begged to be allowed even to read the affidavit, and see by whom it was sworn, but this, Robarts said, he could not permit either, and instantly lock ed the paper in question up in his desk. "Now, your Lordships will see," said Mr. Brougham, "that this paper voieted to by Roberts could be no affidavit on the subject at all, because, if any were sworn at the time, and a writ issued upon it, that affidavit must, as your Lordships well know, have been tiled at the proper office—namely the bill of Middlesex office, instead of being lock ed up in the desk of Air. Roberts." Mr. Good remonstrated still against the payment of the two guineas, without wing either writ or affidavit of debt; but Robarts replied, that he (Good) might skein himself very fortunate that he had not been ar rested, and that two writs had not been: issued instead of one ; because," said he, "you know that we attornies, when we get hold of a thing of this sort, generally make the most we can of it." 'Under these circumstances; Mr. Good had no alterna tive but to pay the additional two guineas, and get up his bill, which he accordingly did. In the course of the same day Mr. Good happened to mention the transaction to his solicitor, Air. Hodgson; and this latter gentleman seeing at once that such a proceeding could neither be regular or proper, went, accompanied by Mr. Good, to the bill of Middlesexnffice to ascertain if any writ had really been issued, or any affidavit of debt at all filed. On mAing the necessary inquiry of Mr. Roady, the clerk at that office, he (Mr. Brougham) was sorry to observe that the facilities that were expected, and ought to have been given, were not afforded to Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Good; but in the end, they learned that an affidavit was filed upon the subject, sworn by Mr. Robarts him self. It was also to be particularly observed, that Mr. Good had paid the money, and got up his bill, on the very day on withal this affidavit bears date, and at an hour of the Morning on which the bill of Middlesex office was not open, and consequently this affidavit could not have been filLsl. Mr. Justice BATLLY—Mr. Brougham, you had better call upon Mr. Boady to make an affidavit of what hour the office opened on the morning in question, and as to any other particu lars he may know relating to this transaction, and than mention the case to us again. Mr. BROUGHAM---I shall, my Lord ; and perhaps, after what has fallen from your Lordship, Mr. Boady will not be indisposed to tell us all lw knows about the matter. feet the validity of the will, although the fact of chow difference; was important. , The COURT considered the declarations of the subscribing wit nesses highly important, and therefore admitted them, but that part of the allegation which related to the widow's sending nut a person to learn what was said abroad concerning the will, the Court conceived might be excluded without injury to any of the parties.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, FRIDAY, DEC. 1. VIZ GOSPEL iOCIETY V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Mr. SIDEBOTTONI, in the absence of Mr. Shadwell (who with the other, King's Counsel was attending. the House of Lords), stated this case. Archbishop Tennison, by a codicil to his will, dated September 2, 1715, made the following bequest _ . _ . , 4 Whereas in my will I have bequeathed to the Society de Promovendo Evangelio the sum of 500/., now I do revoke the same legacy, but my will is, that my exec utors do pay to the said Society within two months after the appointment and consecration of two Protestant Bishops, one for the Continent ,and the other for the Isles of North America, 1,0001. to be applied by them in equal portions for the benefit of those respective churches ; but until such consecrations are completed, my executors are not to pay the 1,0001. or any part thereof, but are to put out the same in the public funds, and apply the interest for the benefit of such missionaries being English, and of the province of Canterburyr as the said Society shall have judged to have done good service to re ligion in North America, and shall have returned to England poor and distressed." The plaintiffs are now advised that the events specified in the will of Archbishop Tennison having taken place, the funds are now applicable, and had filed their bill to have the funds transferred to them. Mr. WRAY admitted the facts as stated, but suggested a doubt whether the Court would not require the representatives of Arch bishop Tennison to be before the Court. Mr. Sinzaorrost—.With regard to executors being made parties where the fund is clear, all debts being paid, the executors are funai officio', and have no business before the Court, which has complete power without them. In this case it would be extremely inconvenient, and as no personal representative of the executor could be found, a limited administration would be neces sary. That the Court should interfere and manage the fund, I apprehend, is impossible. . The Society are clearly entitled to have the funds transferred to them ; they are to apply them, and, as there must be an end to this trust, and from the great incon venience that would be produced by the Court administering the funds, I submit they should be at once transferred. The M. of the Ross—This is a very large sum, much greater, probably, than the testator contemplated ; but the tee tator r epo se d tothe trust in the Society, they are the proper partiesreceive the money, and I have no doubt they will ap ply it properly.

The state mentobtained, upon which,Mr. Brougham made the applicMion, as sup ported by affidavit., was this :—A Mr. Good, residing in Man. cheater-buildings, W estM ' ; n aters had accepted a bill of exchange, made payable at the house of a friend of his named Brooks; wht this bill, which w as i n t h e hands of a man named Gene" at t "' time, become due, it was dishonoured in consequence of owe mis time arising o u t o f t h e acc i dental absence of Mr. Brooks from .home. Geneva, the holder of the bill, on its being returned to DOE P. STOCKDALE. This was an action of ejectment brought by the plaintiff on the demise of John Winter, against the defendant, the notorious book seller of that name.—Verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dm 1. TOILE V. JONEM AND Wit MDT. Mr. Sergeant TAbbY stated the case. This was an action to recover damages for a trespass committed on the house of the plain tiff, a farmer, near Enfield, by the defendantsi on Sunday the 15th of October last. The plaintiff saw the defendants coining in a gig towards his house, and suspecting what sort of guests he was likely to have, he ordered Coleman, his servant, to bolt the door. When they came to the h o us e , J ones , w h o i s a wine merchant in London, considering himself, it was supposed, from his profession a privileged man, took the liberty of plucking some grapes which were growing against the house, and then they went both to the dear, end firotinK it !oohed, forced it open. They then searched the kitchen and parlour for meat, and finding none, they went to the hen-roost, where they found a turkey-cock and an old hen, which they killed and took away. The housekeeper, who was in the house, thought it then high time to interpose, and remonstrate with them for their conduct : instead of desisting, however, Wright took a loaded gun, which was in the house, and threat e n e d to shoot her, and there was no knowing what mischief might have bean done, had not the plaintiff fortunately, by acci dent, taken out the flint previously. Mr. Poile then interposed, and they then insisted upon getting tea, which, for the sake of peace, was given them, and they were at last, after remaining the greater part of the day, prevailed upon to go away, but insisted upon taking the fowls and the grapes. The Learned Sergeant had 110 doubt the Jury would award such damages to the plaintiff as the defendants' outrageous conduct deserved. John Coleman; the plaintiff's servant, and the housekeeper, proved the above statement. Mr. Sergeant VavaHAN then addressed the Jury in behalf of the defendant ; he stated that the defendants were very young men, and intimate acquaintances of the plaintiff's, and that they had frequently visited one another ; he endeavoured to resolve the whole matter into a youthful frolic. The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up, and reprobated in the strongest terms the outrageous conduct of the defendants, and re commended to the Jury to award such damages as would teach a lesson to all young men against such outrages in future. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 601. PREROGATIVE COURT, Dec. 1. (Before Sir a. NICHOLL.) NARA,' V. THE DOWAOIR COUNTEIS OF BA REMORF. In the matter of the goods of the late Lord Barrymore, admini stration was granted to his 'deters, the Countess Dowager Barry more, and Baroness Barry, without opposition. Application to this Court was necessary, u Lord Foley and the other executors named in the will renounced the trust. SKITSON V. SRITTOI.4 Dr. PHILLIMORZ said, that this suit NMI brought by Ann Brit ton, who denied the validity of is will, alleged to have been exe cuted by her father. The testator, who resided at \Vantage, died in November, 1525, leaving a widow, and an only daughter. Soon after the testator's death, the widow took out probate, and upon the application of the daughter, this probate was recalled, the validity of the will being impugned. An application was put in containing several articles, to prove that the will produced was a fraudulent instrument, and had never been executed by the deceased. Dra. JIENNILIR and tustitmuton appeared in support of the will, and objected to the admission of several articles contained in the libel. it was pleaded, that soon after the marriage of deceas • ed with Mary Britton, who was his second wife, and surviving relict, they began to live unhappily together, an d o ft en quarre ll e d. It was also pleaded that it was notorious that the deceased and Mary Britton, in their quarrels, often resorted birdss, and that upon the death of the testator the opinion in the neighbourhood was so general, that he came to his death by unfair means, in a quarrel with his wife, that the Coroner had the body taken up, and an inquest held. The holly, however, was WO putrid for examination, and the Jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died by the visit a ti on o f G o d . Thi s arti cle . was objected to necause it co nveyed a serious imputation upon the widow, which there was no evidence to support. The alle gation went on to state that the deceased' was unconscious when his mark was put to the will. A person named Bartholomew, who was one of the subscribing witnesses, said that the deceased was dead, and a person named Davis replied, no, he is not, and taking a pen, placed in the hand of the dead man, and made the mark to the will. Davis then said to Bartholemew and Williams, who were present, be was not dead, and we will stick to it. Bar tholemew and Williams had subsequently made declarations, giv ing this account of the transaction. The Counsel submitted that these declarations were net evidence, and ought to be rejected. In another article it was stated that the widow sent out a permon to the public houses, to bring her an account of what persons said concerning the will. The immateriality of this fart was stated as a reason for its rejection. Dr. PittLettioax (with whom was Dr. Adams) replied. He said that the deceased left property to the amount of 3,6001., out of which the will gave 200/. to the testator's only child. Under all the circumstances, he submitt e d that the Court should not include an y o f t h e articles contai ne d i n the allegation. Sir J. Nicisotx said, that the allegati on conta i ne d a strong ca se of fraud, but a s to t h e e vidence add uce d to support it, that must he a subject for f u t ure consideration. Th e notor i ety o f t h e un happy differences between the deceased sad his wife could not 41- BUTLZR V. BUILD. In this case, Lieut. Butler applied for probate of his father, Sir G, Butler's will, which was dated in Nov. 1824. Lady Butler, the relict of the testator denied the validity of the will, by which she only derived an annuity of 20/. per annum ; although it was given in evidence that the testator sold his commission in the Army shortly before his death for the sum of 4,000/. Lady But let': was allowed to sue in forma. pauperis, but the Court was of opinion that the validity of the will had been proved beyond all question, probate was thereforegranted to the testator's son. COURT- OF EXCHEQUER—Dze, 1. - - (Before Mr. Baron GA R gorr.) • ;His Loirnstur, upon entering Court, begged to be allowed to correct a mistake which he lad observed in several journals. His Lordship complained that he had been strangely misrepresented respecting the fining of jurors. It had been stated that on the first day he (Mr. Baron Garrow) had fined all the jurors who were not present. Now the filet was, that he had found that the sum monses had been served upon the jurors at so short a notice, that his Lordship had fined no one for non-attendance. THr A'TTOltltili"-GIit4EAAL V.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Fitauns AT BILLINGSGATE MARKET. shorer, that is, a man who lands the fish at Billingsgate market, was brought before the Loan Melva, at the instance of Mr. Goldliatu, the new Superintendent of the market. The • facts proved by the evidence produced by Mr. Go!dam Were, that a poor man tipplied to the prisoner to buy him half a peck of oysters. The prisoner said the market price was crown, and he received that sum for them and two-pence besides, his commission for landing them. It was proved that the price on board the boats was no more than I bd. ; that the prisoner had paid no more ; and that, therefore, he had defrauded the poor man of half the amount he received for them. Mr. Goldham stated that this was au instance of au extensive system of fraud carried on by these men, who acted as agents for purchasers in buying and landing fish. The Lone. Mayon, upon consulting his legal adviser, was clearly of opinion; that the prisoner had been guilty of stealing to the amount which he took beyond what he actually paid for the goods on board the boat. His Lordship consented, as this was the first case which had' arisen, that the prisoner should be dis charged, with the warning to him and his brethren, as to the pu nishnient they made themselves liable to, by continuing the practice. A salesman complained to his Lordship, that other salesmen connived at the practice carried on by these men. When a pnr chaser, who doubted whether he had not been charged more than the market price, inquired of the salesmen, the latter asserted that the charge was proper. He and the sharer divided the excess of price between them. This busineis, it %vas-proper the owners of tfte belt and the public should know, woo carried on to a great extent: Were the salesmen who did this not liable to punishment ai well as the shorts's? ' The Loan .14a-rox said, that assuredly they were. The complaining salesman said, that the more respectable part of their body were desirous that the practice should be put a stop to, because, if one carried it on, others would be compelled to carry it on in self-defence. The man who offered most conveniences in this way to the shorers would become the greatest favourite with them, and his goods would move off most quickly. The LORD blaroa observed, that the roguery of one man in a market would be no justification of the practice of it in another. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday William Topmen, a man of re spectable appearance was placed at the bar, before Sir RICHARD Blame, charged with having stolen Bbol., the property of Mr. .bunts Philip Devenish, from his wife, Mrs. Devenish. Mrs. Desenish, in June or July last year, lodged at No. 22, Bury-street, Bloomsbury, at a lodging-house, of which the pri soner was the " deputy landlord." About that time her hus band, an Ensign in the 87th regimout, sold out, and placed 3504, part of the proceeds of the said Sale, in her hands to take care of. It was her intention to place this money in Coutts's bank for safety; the defendant was aware of this intention, and one morning he offered to take the money to Couto's for her. She objected for some time, but at last she wee prevailed upon to give him the money, and he promised to bring her a receipt, and a pass-hook from the bank for it. When he returned in the after noon he did not bring either, and when deponent asked him the reason, he said the bankers would nut receive less than NU, and when desired to return the money, he said be had placed it with his brother, a watchmaker, for greater security, alleging as his reason for so doing, that it was not safe in deponent's bands " while so many gentlemen visited her." This was on Friday evening, and on Saturday morning the prisoner absconded, taking the money with him; and although a warrant was immediately obtained against him, from that time to the present he succeeded in eluding apprehension. - He had been traced to Norwich and North Shields, and many other places, where be had passed un der fictitious names, but he always contrived to escape, till Thum day night, when he ventured to go into a public-house, in Bury-' street, and notice of the circumstance being sent to deponent, she had him taken into custody. - Furzeman, a constable, was sent for by the last witness to ap prehend the prisoner. He ►earched him, and found upon his person twenty-four pawnbroker's duplicates ; chiefly for watches paWned by him : anti among other papers, one, which purported to be a receipt given by James Philip Deveniah, the husband of the complainant, in favour of tbs prisoner, acknowledging to have received from one Diblln, on behalf of the prisoner, the sum of 380/., on condition that the warrant against the primer should be destroyed. The prisoner had never denied that he had taken the money, which he had since returned to the complainant's buiband through a man named Diblin, who was then in Court and would prove it ; and that Mrs. Devenish had given him (Diblin) the receipt which had been found in his (prisoner's) pocket, and had burned the warrant in the presence of DRAM and several other persons. Sir R. BiaNte asked how the warrant could have got into the possession of Mr. Devenish? Mr. Woods, the clerk, said, that some time after the prisoner h a d absconded, Mr. Deveuish came to the office, and begged he might himself have the warrant, as he was too poor to pay an officer to follow the prisoner, and his request was granted. The prisoner then called his witness, Diblin, who stated that about 12 months ago lie paid Mr. Devenish, by the peieoner's de sire, 100/. and got from him a receipt for the whole amount of 850/. lie SSW Mr. Devenish, too, burn the warrant, and he thought it had been all settled. . . Sir RICHARD BIRWID told this witness, that by his own con fession be had aided in compounding a very serious felony, an d he should detain him in custody, unless he could procure very good bail for his appearance on Tuesday next, at which time the complainant's husband must be in attendance. The prisoner and his witness, Mr. Diblin, were-therefoie re manded. I. A MBE STREET. —Yesterday, my.

It has been, fur the most part. a mild and temperate November, attended by a considerable, but no excessive portion of moisture, occasional fiat, clear days, and some frosty nights. On Saturday the 26th, a snow-storm, frinn the south-west, went over a considerable tract of country, sad was the forerunner of a severe float, which lasted till the tnorning of Tuesday, when a thaw, accompanied by a Ocean pestle lain, commenced, and has continued up to this present Wedness day afternoon. The frost, short as was its duration, will probably he productive of beneficial results, in checking the over luxuriant growth of the forward-sown wheats, and in repressing the partial depredations of the slug and wire-worm and grub; and these good effects being obtained, the continuance of open weather for some time longer will be most advantageous to 'flock-masters and owners of live stock, as the means of • enabling there to husband their scanty stores of fodder and turnips, •by keeping their cattle some additional weeks in the fields, subsisting on the latter math of grass. During the coarse of the month, the business of ploughing has gone on with nearly uninterrupted progress, and with good effect. In those warm, fertile districts, where the operation is usually deferred . until Noe • ember, and in thee fortunate spots where early turnips have been obtained and eaten off by cheep, wheat sowing has still been carried on under very favourable circumstances. The young wheate, in general, have advanced considerably in growth and strength of late, and are now clinging closer to the ground, branch. ing out, and assuming a deeper green. The plant, in general, it duck and full; but in laud that wits ploughed late, and sown storm after. ploughing, which, owing to the long and intense dronght, was a large portion, annual weeds are nearly as thick, and late% the crop in no trifling degree. Winter tares still continue ID have a strong and vigorous appearance, and are thickly planted on the ground ; the more so, of course, from the' diminutive size of the seed contracted, as it was, in its bulk, by the hot and parching sea:on in which it grew. The Corn Market throughout the month has been generally steady, with a small advance in the articles of Wheat and Barley, which, however, in the last week, has roller receded. Oats have risen steadily and cousiderably, with a temporary remission in consequence of arrivals ; but they appear now to have resumed their upward-tendency. Indeed, if the accounts we have received of the state of the out crop be five, combined with the deficiency which we too well know to have occurted at home, they will if feed reason for apprehending that this grain may leach an extra vagant price in the eourse of the ensuing year an event, how-, ever, which though generally expected, and against which pro= parations are universally made, often fails to occur, from the very circumstance of its notoriety. Economy in the use of the de ticient article does much : and substitutes, being very generally resorted to, bring down the demand to correspond more nearly with' the scanty supply. So way it possibly turn out in the !rea gent instance. But, on the other hand, we must not conceal it from ourselves that our stock on hand, both foreign and domestic, is unusually small, and that we are commencing a winter, possibly long and severe, during which our expected supply from the Baltic, scanty as, in all probability, it eventually will be, may be totally suspended until the return of spring. Indeed, if the stocks in hand on the Continent, and the crops of grain there are actually such si, from respectable authority they are represented to be, there is little probability of any considerable supply of corn being derived from thence, even in the event of open purts, Red admitting the wheat crop there to approach nearly to its usual productiveness. For some years past the lower classes on the Continent, and more particularly in tholes countries from which we draw our chief supplies of foreign grain, have adopted the use of potatoes, very considerably and extensively, as their com mon and habitual food. it ie said that this crop has failed most lamentably abroad, and particularly in the North of Germany and in Poland. The inhabitants, therefore, must have resort to wheat and rye, in a much larger proportion than usual, and will conse quently have a smaller surplee to spare for exportation. The meat market has varied little during the month : latterly there has been some tendency towards a general improvement. The fairs and marts for lean stock have exhibited some faint, though but small and partial, symptoms of amendment. There is a demand, though not a brisk one, and the supply frequently overpowers it; more particularly rot it is, from its nature, and from the circum stances of the times, a supply that must be parted with at any rate ; the sellers, in some instances, being in urgent want of money, and in others without the moans of providing farther subsistence for the animals they offer for sale. Hence buyers be come fastidious, and will look at none but the prime articles, ex cept on their own terms, and at prices (pin inadequate. none s are very much re d uce d i n p r i ce , as might naturally be expected, under the combined difficulties of finding inoney to purchase, and corn and fodder to support them when bought. Still, however, horses of a superior description, in -every department, command large aunts, and are eagerly sought after. Cows of high quality sell pretty readily, but inferior ones are a drug. There is greater life in the hop-market ; prices have rather advanced, and both a n euna t a dn v i o ipt u r: r A i; ebihan hope plp, a iery t e ot c hre ' o ra u ain i n t $ n t t o y : buyers and sellers seem to feel more con fi dence, whether in pur chasing, or in holding.
